216: Proletariat

Members of the proletariat…
Is that you? Are you that?
Do you know this word?
Is the meaning obscure?
Do you know? Are you sure?

Prone to misspelling
difficult to say perhaps
people let me help you out
let me tell you what it’s all about.

It describes the workers you can see
humble folk, just like you and me
the labouring classes
the long suffering masses.

Did you know? Were you right?
Is your vocab muscle, dormant or on strike?
Through education each can rise
and change the system so despised.
So people, take the time to learn new words
if you want those unhappy voices heard.
